San Diego, Calif. June 1915

At a Court of Common Pleas began and held at the Court House in the town of Canton within and for the County of Stark in the State of Ohio on Monday the seventeenth day of September one thousand eight hundred and twenty seven, were present.
The Honorable { Jeremiah H. Hall, Esq. President Judge William Christmas } Esq. Associate Judges James Clark }
Timothy Reed Esq. Sheriff. John H. Lewis Clerk.
Among other proceedings of said Court there had been the following, to wit:
"In the Matter of Peter France On the seventeenth day of September one thousand eight hundred and twenty seven application for a Pension personally appeared in open Court here the Court of Common Pleas the same being a Court of Record Peter France a resident of said Stark County Ohio aged seventy six years who being first duly sworn here in open Court deposed and saith and on his solemn oath declares that he served in the Revolutionary War as follows that is to say he enlisted (as near as he can recollect) in the year 1778 in the Maryland Line in the Regiment commanded by Col. Williams in the Company commanded by Captain Donahill that he continued that he in the same Regiment and Company for the term of three years and served several months afterwards in Col. Butler's which he was discharged and his discharge is now lost.
That he was in the Battle of Brandywine and that he continued since then a prisoner in New Jersey and New York when he was exchanged and some short time afterwards was stationed at Fort Frederick in Maryland and some time afterwards was moved to Pittsburgh where he continued until he was discharged. That he is by profession a laborer but by reason of his age and infirmities is able to do but little. That he has a wife aged about fifty years and four children all unable to support themselves. And further on his solemn oath declares that he was a resident citizen of the United States on 18 th day of March 1818 and that he has not since by gift sale or in any other

manner dispose of his property or any part thereof with intent so to diminish it as to bring himself within the provisions of an act of Congress entitled "An act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the Revolutionary War" passed on the 18 th day of March 1828 and that he has not nor has any person in trust for him any property or securities, contracts, or debts due to him and that he has not any income other than what is contained in a schedule hereto annexed and to him subscribed - he further on his oath states that in the year 1813 (as near as he can recollect) he entered a quarter section of land Congress land and paid the first installment thereon and finding himself totally unable to pay the balance due on said land did in the year 1821 (as near as he can recollect) sell his right in the same for the sum of fifty dollars (as near as he can recollect) which sum was all he could get for the same and that that amount has his family since expended in the support of himself and family and that he has neither given away sold or disposed of in any manner whatsoever any property since the 18 th day of March 1828 except his right to the above mentioned land. That the reason why he did not sooner apply for a Pension was that he lived remote from any place of general information, that he is very illiterate and was told by many that he was not entitled to a pension unless he had been wounded and that he had but shortly been able to obtain correct information. Sworn to and subscribed his in open Court this 17 th day Peter S. Francis of September 1827 mark J. M. McPherson, Clerk.
The following is a schedule of my property to wit:

BA-J/ILL Peter France W. 7328
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Peter Frans and Henry Brunner, soldiers of the Revolutionary War.
A search of the Revolutionary War records has been made and no claim for pension or bounty land found which was made to the United States based upon service of a Henry Brunner, or other spelling. The claim of only one soldier named Peter France has been found. His record is given herein as found in the papers on file in pension claim, W. 7328, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
Peter France enlisted in 1776, served as a private in Captain Downhill's company, Colonel Rawlings' regiment, was at Fort Washington when it was taken by the enemy, was confined to a prison ship at New York, was paroled, subsequently, served at a fort at Frederick, Maryland, and at Pittsburgh, and was discharged August 9, 1779, having served three years.
He was allowed pension on his application executed September 17, 1827, at which time he resided in Stark County, Ohio. He was then aged seventy-six years, the date and place of his birth, names of his parents, and his residence at the time of enlistment are not shown.
The soldier married in the spring of 1793, in Woodberry, Frederick County, Maryland, Elizabeth Snyder, of Adams County, Pennsylvania; she was on a visit to her brother-in-law at that time, his name not stated.
Peter France died April 26, 1836. His widow, Elizabeth, died

February 19, 1851; the date and place of her birth are not shown, but in 1827, she was about fifty years of age.
The names of the children of Peter France, the soldier, and his wife, Elizabeth, who survived their mother, are shown as follows: Henry, born in 1800; Lewis, born in 1806; David, born in 1811; Daniel, born in 1813; and James, born in 1815;
On November 8, 1853, David France, a resident of Summit County, Ohio, applied for pension which was due on account of the service of his father in the Revolutionary War. He applied in behalf of himself and his brothers, named above; the residences of these others are not shown. The claim was allowed.
In 1856, Mr. and Mrs. Glass (Mathias and Elizabeth), were residents of Summit County, Ohio, aged seventy-nine and seventy-five years respectively; in 1793, they lived on a farm adjoining that of the father of Elizabeth Snyser, who married Peter France. Said Elizabeth Glass stated that her own sister married a brother of Elizabeth Snyser on July 6, 1806, but she did not give their names.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Assistant to Administrator.

Middlebury Summit Co. Ohio Feb. 18. 1854
Dear Sir,
Your letter of Dec 21 st 53, acknowledging the receipt of certain papers forwarded by me, making application for a pension supposed to be due Elizabeth France deceased, widow of Peter France, was duly rec d . It appears that on examination being made, the only difficulty you refer to, is that, "The date of marriage is not proved with sufficient certainty."
Although I have no doubt of the truth of the statements made by Mr & Mrs Glasp who knew Mrs France before and after marriage yet neither of them were present when it was consummated. Mrs France went from her father in Adams County Pa a on a visit to a brother-in-law in Frederick Co Md a where she married Peter France at the time specified in the deposition of Mr & Mrs Glasp. Mr Glasp had a brother married a sister of Mrs France, shortly after her going to Md a from this, and the comparative age of their children and other circumstances they predicted their statements in part as forwarded. Although I had been informed that Mrs France had recently mentioned the circumstance of her being published in Church before marriage yet on your suggestion I wrote to the clk of the court of Frederick Co. Md a the annexed rec d . I forward you. I fully concur in opinion with you that the best possible evidence the nature of the later will admit of, should be produced. Fraud and deception is often practiced in our day, and should be prevented if possible. But after a look at

60 years it might be impossible to procure evidence to sus- tain of good cause. I have written some time since to a brother of Mr France, living in Adams County Pa. supposing he might be able to give us some information, that might be of advantage, but have rec d . no answer yet. After reviewing the case, with the proof produced, I should wish to have your opinion as soon as convenient. If unfavorable, and he David France should think proper to apply for the Pension under the law of 1848, would it be advisable for his oldest brother living (being the third child I un- derstand) and born in Jan y 1800, to testify on the ap- plication? or would it altho' the case, if he should releas e his interest in the claim? I have no interest in this business further than to oblige a firm but honest man, who supported his mother many years at his own expense.
Yours sincerely John France

Enclosed please find the agent of Mr David... of his claim as... of July 27th... see that the same is needed so as to allow him the privilege of prosecuting the claim further if he should obtain the required testimony to enable him to do so, which is but justice to him and the persons whom he represents as well as to the Government. I suppose the object of the Pension law is to grant the material aid to those who justly are entitled to it claimed and to some others; I have no doubt but that the marriage was solemnized prior to 1791 but whether he can substantiate the same to the satisfaction of the department remains to be determined and whether he will make any further effort to do so I cannot say.

London 24th December 1878
Sir,
Colonel Gordon has had the application of Peter France for a patent. Also enclosed the application of Daniel & Smith (or Daniel Jacob & Smith) as to the amount of money paid - I call a state land office in Haverhill in which district the land is held by France in letters patent required for the transfer executed by France to Everett. The Deputy informed me that it was the custom of the land office to forward the transfer to the General Land Office where they sent on a General certificate so that a Patent should pass to the assignee and that could be done in the General Land Office. I have written to the Commissioner of the General Land Office to forward you a certified copy of the transfer which is of the kind of deed used for transferring that kind of estate. In a letter from your Department dated the 11th May 1877 you say that the patent of Peter France is admitted and only requires the endorsement of the purchase of the land and a copy of the deed of conveyance. These I have now finished and hope they will be satisfactory. Peter France is unquestionably a fit subject for the honors of his country as I think him to be very poor and ignorant.
Yours very Respectfully John D. Sleeper

Dear Col. Clark
As I have been informed that your youngest son obtained a pension for $200.00 per annum and interest for his services during the war and that at his death you would receive the full amount for his services.
I got this on the pension list shortly after the passage of the act which I think was in 1846.
I think he had his discharge before he died. I might have been mistaken. He made out a statement and showed some of the papers he listed as what Captain and Colonel and was what division of Continental Troops in the Battle of Bunker Hill. These papers were sent to the War Department and are now in the War Department and are all good and file in the War Department and are always understood as a perfectly good and valid by reference to the records of the War Department.

I have carefully examined the records of my office and can find no record of the issuing of a marriage license to Peter France and Elizabeth Stinger. I examined from the year 1770 to 1800. By reference to the Act of 1777 chap 12. the provisions of the laws of matrimony for three successive Sundays, supersede the necessity of obtaining a marriage license.
